Doha Arab Summit


DOHA (Reuters) - Il presidente sudanese Omar Hassan al-Bashir ha esortato oggi i partecipanti al vertice arabo a respingere il mandato di cattura internazionale emesso contro di lui e ha accusato Israele di sostenere i ribelli in Darfur.
"Apprezziamo il vostro sostegno e speriamo che porterà a risoluzioni forti e chiare ... che respingano il mandato d'arresto e chiedano che venga ritirato", ha detto Bashir, che si è recato in visita in diversi paesi arabi e africani sfidando gli sforzi internazionali per portarlo sotto processo per crimini di guerra in Darfur.

القادة العرب يدعمون البشير "المطلوب بتهم جرائم حرب"
اختتم القادة والزعماء العرب قمتهم السنوية اليوم الاثنين في العاصمة القطرية الدوحة ببيان أظهروا من خلاله دعمهم ومساندتهم للرئيس السوداني عمر حسن البشير المطلوب من قبل المحكمة الجنائية الدولية بتهم ارتكاب جرائم حرب.
فقد قالت الجامعة العربية إنها ترفض قرار المحكمة المذكورة الداعي لإلقاء القبض على البشير الذي تحدث في وقت سابق اليوم أمام مؤتمر القمة العربية وحظي بدعم قوي من قبل نظيره السوري بشار الأسد وزعماء عرب آخرين.
إن أولئك الذين ارتكبوا المذابح والاعتداءات في فلسطين والعراق ولبنان هم من يجب أن يُعتقلوا أولا الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد
فقد جاء في بيان الجامعة العربية الذي صدر في ختام القمة: "نحن نؤكد تضامننا مع السودان ورفضنا لقرار المحكمة الجنائية الدولية."
دعم الأسد
وكان الرئيس الأسد، رئيس دورة القمة العربية السابقة، قد قال في كلمته أمام المؤتمر في وقت سابق من اليوم: "إن أولئك الذين ارتكبوا المذابح والاعتداءات في فلسطين والعراق ولبنان هم من يجب أن يُعتقلوا أولا."
ودعى العديد من الدول الأفريقية، بالإضافة إلى حليف السودان الرئيسي الصين، إلى تعليق العمل بإجراءات المحكمة الدولية المذكورة بخصوص اعتقال البشير، مجادلين بأنها (أي تلك الإجراءات) سوف تعرقل جهود إحلال السلام في إقليم دارفور السوداني المضطرب.
و في كلمة له خلال قمة الدوحة، دعا الأمين العام للأمم المتحدة، بان كي مون، السودان إلى إعادة النظر في قرار طرد 13 منظمة إغاثة دولية من دارفور في أعقاب صدور مذكرة اعتقال الرئيس البشير.

Chavez opposes arrest warrant for Bashir

DOHA, March 31 (Xinhua) ¨C Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez here Tuesday voiced objection to the arrest warrant of the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for alleged war crimes in Darfur.
Upon his arrival at the Doha International Airport to attend the 2nd Arab-South American Summit scheduled for Tuesday, Chavez told reporters that the ICC should be requested to prosecute former U.S. President George W. Bush and Israeli President Shimon Peres, according to Spanish EFE news Agency.
"Why (the ICC) not order the capture of Bush? Why not order the arrest of the president of Israel?¡± he was quoted as asking.
Leaders of the 22-member Arab League who held a summit on Monday passed a communiqu¨¦ on rejecting the ICC¡¯s arrest warrant for Bashir.
Chavez said the ICC ¡°has no power to make a decision against a sitting president, but does so because it is an African country, the third world,¡± said Chavez, whose country is a signatory to the ICC.
The ICC has requested all its signatory members to arrest Bashir.
The Second Summit of Arab-South American countries will be held in the afternoon, with the participation of leaders and senior officials from 12 South American countries and 22 Arab states, plus delegates from the Arab League. ¡¡



US Says Bashir Deserves Arab League Condemnation
By David Gollust Washington30 March 2009



The U.S. State Department says the Arab League summit in Qatar should have been a vehicle for condemnation of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for his expulsion of international relief workers. The summit is instead expected to call for suspension of the international arrest warrant against the Sudanese leader for Darfur war crimes.
Obama administration officials say the warm welcome accorded the Sudanese leader at the summit was inappropriate under the circumstances, and that Arab leaders should focus their energies on trying to get Mr. Bashir to reverse his expulsion of aid workers.
The Sudanese leader received a red carpet welcome Sunday in Qatar, despite the arrest order against him by the International Criminal Court for orchestrating war crimes in Darfur.
The United States is not a party to the ICC, but supported the court in assembling the case against the Sudanese leader, and has called for him to surrender and face charges.
At a news briefing, State Department Deputy Spokesman Gordon Duigud said Mr. Bashir's presence at the summit should have been an opportunity to bring forth international opprobrium, or public condemnation of the Sudanese leader for what is occurring in Darfur.
"We would hope that while he is in Doha that the Arab League would focus on the immediate and urgent needs of the people on the ground in Sudan, and address the grave humanitarian situation in Darfur, as well as the need to establish peace in Darfur and meet the key priorities of the (North-South) Comprehensive Peace Agreement. As they are going to be holding discussions, the discussions should be on how to stop the violence, support the people and re-establish peace in Darfur and south Sudan," he said.
The 22-nation summit is expected to approve a resolution calling for the ICC to suspend the action against Mr. Bashir.
A senior State Department official said the welcome given Mr. Bashir was not the reception that should have gone to someone whose country is in such turmoil, and whose decisions have forced badly-needed aid workers to leave their posts.
The United States has urged reversal of the expulsion order and says it accepts no link between it and the ICC indictment.
The Obama administration's newly-named special envoy for Sudan - retired U.S. Air Force Major-General Scott Gration - held meetings with White House officials Monday in advance of his first trip to the region.
Gration, a fluent Swahili speaker who spent several years of his youth in Africa, is expected to leave Washington later this week on a mission that will take him to Khartoum, Darfur, and southern Sudan.
